- It really depends on who you ask.
- I used to not care, but it has been a good excuse to try and improve myself a bit. Not that I have to wait for New Years, but when it does come around it’s a good time to think about what I’d want to do differently the next year. (No Resolutions though, those are designed to fail)
- I actually have off. It’s the first New Years Eve in a long time I’m not working. Pppppppaaaaarrrrrtttyyyy. No, j/k. I got shit to do with my cousin. I guess I could always find someone who’s not at work, but I promised my cousin we’d hang out. But, it’s New York City on New Years Eve. Who tf needs plans, there’s plans all around us. And no, I’m staying far tf away as possible from Times Square.
- I honestly haven’t felt any of the holidays this year, it’s been a rough year of depression for me. I’m just going to spend the day watching some movies and catching up on laundry.
- I get together with family and we have a fondue along with a bunch of hors d’oeuvres. I love it for the food and get togethers.
- I mainly use the event as an excuse to socialize with the very few people that I actually like, have some snacks, have some drinks, maaaaaayyybe stay up til midnight ?????
- My bf (52M) and I (50F) have developed a tradition: We sit on the couch watching TV, waiting to watch the ball drop without having to sit through anyone’s “Rockin’ New Year’s Eve.” We drift off. I usually wake up just in time to turn on the ball drop, wake up bf, “3-2-1 Happy New Year, hon,” quick hug, quick kiss, wish the cat a Happy New Year, give pets, go to bed.
- I’m in a long distance relationship and I don’t want to go out and celebrate it without him as it just feels off… so I’m doing nothing which is fine with me. I don’t like parties or drinking anyway, and I don’t feel like hanging out with friends.
- I wouldn’t say that I don’t care. We make good food for dinner and then relax to midnight. We don’t care for fireworks, partying and drinking. So we don’t do what most people do here.
- I use it as an excuse to eat unhealthy foods and drink. I prefer to do that on holidays because it’s easier to deny myself permission on regular days if I think of it as a holiday-only behavior.
- Me. A new year does not make any difference, except that from now on till the end of 2025 I will have to write the dates ending with 2025.
- I’m kinda the same way. I’m like “yay it’s a new year!” then move on with my day. I’m not gonna go out of my way and do anything special or different just because it is New Year’s weekend.
- I was hoping my toddler would have been asleep hours ago. But these awful fireworks are keeping her up. I just want to lay down. I’m very pregnant and my back hurts.
- I live alone in the county and there is a big storm right now. No way I’m going out. I’m staying home with my two dogs and likely be in bed before midnight. When I was young I always partied NYE. I no longer feel the need to and I am perfectly content to do nothing.
- We (myself, husband, daughter) are just going to order pizza and watch movies. If I’m still awake then cool, might tune into the ball drop. If not oh well. I don’t have any hopes for the new year and just don’t really care.
- Not at all. When I was younger, going out was a real thing. Now I would feel more for low key dinner, but all of my friends are coupled up and spend time with spouse/family.
